Issue

The 'Send an HTTP request' Url field no longer seems to accept a variable as input for me. For example: ${getmyurl()}

The validation seems OK:

Send an Http request

Where the getmyurl looks something like (it's not an escaping issue, I tried multiple values here with and without quotes etc...):

# getmyurl()
- just-a-test-string-to-see-if-this-throws-an-invalid-url-exception

The response in the 'Bot Framework Emulator' always gives the message: BuildQnaAnwserUrl does not have an evaluator, it's not a built-in function or a custom function.

This used to work for me with an older version of the Composer (where the prefix was still an @). Is anyone else having this, is my syntax incorrect somehow?

You can save the Url in a variable at start of conversation. eg. Set a property -> user.Url : urlString. In http method Url field -> Pass it as ${user.Url}. The scope of variable can be defined as per requirement (user/conversation/dialog/turn)
